    Thumbs up

    I'd go for Bushwallers in Frederick, since I'm in southern PA, outside of Hagerstown, but. Does anyone know of a place in Leesburg?

    Bushwaller's. unless they have remodeled in the past year, is a larger open room with a bar and a dozen tables. The floors haven't been redone since it was a store 50 years ago, wide boards and uneven. Food is pretty good but not fancy.

    Until a year ago I lived a block an a half away from Bushwaller's close enough to walk down for dinner. I remember that they have/had Celtic music a couple of night a month.

    There's also a brew pub a block south that has some fairly good brew. I was not impressed by the service the last time I was in to the Brew Pub. I have a feeling they are impressed by their own advertising.

    It's an Irish Pub & Family Grille with two locations - Ashburn and Haymarket (both south of Leesburg). Haven't been to either one, but they have a lot of entertainment info on their website.

    Ashburn or Haymarket are definitely good for me.

    Actually, I don't think I've been in there, although I have been by many times. I have been to the brewpub nearby, Brewers Alley. It does have good food, but it's been a while since I've been there as well. I guess i don't aim for downtown Frederick very often.

    Great idea, and how about a kilt night in DC for Tartan Day, April 6

    While I probably can't make the Northern Virginia one (kids, SWMBO*, etc), I've been thinking since I joined X-Marks that the area kilted should convene in DC somewhere for a kilt night.

    And, conveniently enough, Tartan Day falls on a Friday this year (April 6), so how about we gather momentum from the NoVA gathering and use it as a springboard to the April 6 kilt night in DC?

    No, I have no idea of the location yet. I'm assuming that good beer and access to single malts is/are a must. I don't know of any Scottish pubs, so I'm open to suggestions.

    Let me know how the NoVA event goes, and watch for the 'official' call for the DC kilt night coming up round about mid-March in this forum.

    *never heard this one? it's an affectionate term for the wife, and stands for She Who Must Be Obeyed. Origins: H. Rider Haggard's story, She, used by John Mortimer's character Rumpole (of the Bailey), though in it's extended form, and came to me through the Homebrew Digest in it's acronym form.

    Show off Dee {he says with a grin} I do have a cousin in the Fairfax area that I have been trying to visit, but something always comes up at either end, so I just may show up sometime and surprise you guys.

    I have been to an Irish pub in Bethesda or just across the DC line. I think it is on Wisconsin Ave. I also believe there is an Irish Pub a block or two from Union Station. This might be good because of metro access.

    If we do it on April 6th we should also plan one shortly there after to welcome gage092879 back to the states.
